What's infinity?

Allright so this thing is on my mind for a long time. We use it everywhere...
In math, in science, in religion, in basicly everywhere, but still i think we dont really know what it is.
Lets start with maths. Imagine u have 1$. And now u get the half of it. So u have 1.5$ now. Do it again. 1.75$. Do it "infinity" times, and u will get 2$ by definition. But how is that possible? Infinity means that u add something endlessly so how is it possible that u dont get "infinity" $? If u add everytime a little bit, it should be more everytime so how is it that it sill has a limit?
In religion (catholic), infinity is the final destination. If u die, u either go to hell or heaven. Either way u will stay there for infinity time, doesnt matter what u do. To think about it, it is not as cool as it seems at first. Could u really have "joy" for "infinity" time? Or is it possible to suffer for eternity? I think existing for eternity is probaly the worst thing that can happen to u. But its just my oppinion mybe, we humans are not meant to be able to imagine such things, but still i wonder.
