How to de-humidify an apartment without using a dehumidifier machine?
My apartment is sooo humid that any paper or clothing that you bring in becomes wet from the humidity in the air. I can’t afford a dehumidifier. Is there another way to make the room more dry?

Try using an oscillating fan. The fan will continuously circulate the air helping to dry it out.
This has limitations, but I cannot think of any other way.

Not knowing where you live or what the cause is of the humidity,my suggestion would be to find the source of the humity and try to eliminate it or reduce it.
The second is to increase ventilation with circulating fans
and exhaust fans to get the moisture out.
Long term moisture problems lead to mould and mildew
and are very unhealthy.

- an air conditioner will act as a dehumidifier.
- a fireplace, wood burning oven, etc. will burn off some moisture.
- exhaust humid air out and blow in dry air when the air is drier outside using a cheap a window fan.
- eliminate the source of the humidity (e.g. a disconnected dryer hose, water leaks, etc.)

If you have air conditioning, running it will pull the humidity from the air. If your A/C is already running and you are still having a humidity issue, check to make sure the drip pan is draining properly.
Other than the A/C unit, you might try some fans to circulate the air. The hardware store also has moisture absorbing bags that are usually used in basements, but they would work in your apartment too.
