Take n labelled copies of S2 and identify one marked point of copy i with the antipodal marked point of copy i+1 cyclically. The resulting connected finite CW complex is homotopy equivalent to
S1∨⋁i=1n​S2,
(1)
so its rational homology has dimensions 1,1,n in degrees zero, one, and two, and its Euler characteristic is n.
