My iPhone settings are set for my iMessages to be stored forever. Am I using valuable storage space on my phone by having it on this setting or are the iMessages stored in another location?
iPhone 6, iOS 8.3
They are stored on the phone. If you do a backup to iCloud and/or iTunes they are also included in the contents of the backup. You can see how much storage space they are using on the phone by going to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (in the Storage section, not the iCloud section).

Thank you very much. I changed it to 30 days. I appreciate your response.
If setting on iPhone store messages for 1 year, are they stored on the phone or someplace else?
