Whether you're wearing a certain brand, building a house or even paying for a monthly gym membership, you're making a statement. Everyone makes statements -- it's how we spend our money and how we express and define ourselves.
Today, more than any other group, millennials are leading the trend in statement-making.
This highly image-conscious group is known for dropping big bucks on everything from designers to academics to charity causes.
