What stops someone from buying houses with a mortgage and having the tenant pay the mortgage in their rent? Why not do this with 50 houses?

On a more human note, you are talking about the age of living people. People's lives are a segment of time. You are born, your age increases while you are alive, and then you die. After people die, people generally say things like "he would have been 92 years old this year", because we don't think you get older after you die. If you change the question to "I was born in 1995 and my dad in 1965. After an infinite amount of time who was born first?" Then the "after an infinite amount of time" is irrelevant, which trumps its meaninglessness. If one event happened before another, the passage of time does not change this. I'd like to hope that the universe will expand for a while, then stop, then contract, so that time started with a big bang and will end with a big crunch, so that "after an infinite amount of time" the universe explodes again and the process repeats. But I doubt anybody in some kind of "next" universe knows or cares who you, your dad, but assuming there is some kind of super-univeral way to answer those questions, you would still have been born after your dad.

Mathematics: I'm 20, my dad is 50. After an infinite amount of time, will he still be older than me?
